http://www.chicstyle.us/2019/04/21/one-of-the-cheapest-truly-cordless-earphones-review/#respondSun, 21 Apr 2019 03:30:48 +0000http://www.chicstyle.us/?p=200PaMu is the first consumer offering from Padmate Tech, a little-known company that has been an OEM manufacturer for various brands. After a successful Indiegogo campaign (they raised 9,378% of their target), PaMu earbuds can now be purchased from the Moldac now.

The first thing you notice about PaMu is the stylish design. We received the black variant, which has a checkered pattern on the earbuds and battery case. The lightweight earbuds offer an excellent fit and did not feel uncomfortable even after 3 hours of use. The clips ensure that they don’t fall out — we tried them walking and running. Plus, PaMu is IPX5 water- and sweat-resistant, making it great for use in gym.

Each earbud has a 10 mm dynamic audio driver, which delivers tight bass as well as excellent clarity for vocals. For voice calls, only the left earbud works (even if you are wearing both) and we had no issue with audio quality or reception at both ends of the call.

Instead of buttons, PaMu has a touch-sensitive area for music and call control. Buttons vs touch is a personal preference but this works great once you get used to it. Like any wireless earphones, they auto connect to the paired device as soon as you remove them from the case.

Also, we did not face any audio-sync issue in videos —something we have seen in wireless earbuds from big brands like Bose and Sony. The circular charging case is compact and lightweight.

A button on the side unlocks the top lid, which can then be rotated to access the storage compartment. It has a built-in magnet so you just need to drop the earbuds in to charge. The charging case has LED indicator lights for battery status and a micro USB port for charging. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge. Battery life is great.

A full charge on the earbuds lasts over 3 hours and the charging case can recharge the headphones 3 times more. We were able to get about 11 hours of playback.

At $79 , PaMu Scroll is one of the cheapest options for anyone looking at true wireless earbuds. It delivers all the features you usually get in the expensive premium brands without compromising on sound quality, battery life or design.

http://www.chicstyle.us/2016/10/22/10-trendy-grey-hair-color-ideas-to-rock/#respondSat, 22 Oct 2016 15:50:03 +0000http://www.chicstyle.us/?p=193Grey hair has recently become popular, and now the trend is in full swing. Why grey? Because grey is a beautiful way to stand out, it’s not too dark or too bold but looks rather eye-catching. It looks great with rock and grunge style, and of course you can rock such hair with various other outfits, too. Grey has a lot of shades and options to choose from, so I’m sure that every girl will find something.

Shades Of Grey

The most popular grey shade now is silver, which isn’t for every appearance type but if it fits, it looks outstanding. I totally love the idea of very light grey hair, almost white, it looks rather subtle and romantic and you still catch an eye. Grey shades are the best for pale complexion and light-colored eyes but of course everything depends on the shade you choose. Grey look cool both on long and short hair, on straight and wavy hair, so it’s up to you.

Grey Highlights And Ombre Hair

Black and grey are a perfect combo, and girls with black hair often do grey balayage. Black or just dark roots accentuate light grey highlights, and blue can be also tried for such highlights, so find matching shades to create a cool look. Ombre grey hair is a unique thing, it looks so beautiful with these dark grey shades subtly going to almost white, wow!

http://www.chicstyle.us/2016/10/22/24-gentle-light-pink-coat-outfits/#respondSat, 22 Oct 2016 15:20:23 +0000http://www.chicstyle.us/?p=187Usually many of us choose neutral colors for fall and winter outfits such as black, gray, brown or white. Yes, of course, these color combinations are gorgeous and chic but if you think that it’s too boring and simple, why not add some new and fresh colors to your looks? So today I offer you to pay your attention to cute and gentle light pink (or pale pink) coats. Decide, at first, what length and type of a coats you want and then start to create outfits with other pieces of clothes, shoes and accessories, and, believe me, there are a lot of ideas!

Jeans And Leggings

To make cozy and warm look try to combine straight mini or knee-length coat with skinny or straight cuffed jeans, sweater or turtleneck and heeled ankle boots. If you think that pink color coat is too girlish, then to keep balance add distressed jeans and flat boots with straps to it. For an elegant outfit you can change sweater to classic white button down shirt, put on super stylish leopard pumps (this print looks awesome with pink color) and take a small bag or a clutch. Pale pink color blends perfectly with black and gray, so you can pair your oversized coat with black leggings or straight pants, gray loose sweater and slip on shoes, for example.

http://www.chicstyle.us/2016/10/20/the-lazy-girls-guide-to-acing-halloween/#respondThu, 20 Oct 2016 14:53:51 +0000http://www.chicstyle.us/?p=183For every Halloween aficionado, there are tons of people who low-key hate dressing up. And that’s totally fine. Not everyone needs to plan their costume out months ahead, go HAM at the local craft store, and rack up a list of savvy pop-culture references sure to blow everyone’s mind. But, even those who would rather stay home in their pajamas on October 31 have likely experienced the FOMO that comes with missing out on the holiday (or at least, the parties) altogether — and that inevitably leads to throwing on a pair of cat ears at the last minute and calling it a day.

This year, why not be a little more prepared? The 12 fashionable costumes ahead are from brands you already know and love — a.k.a no “sexy” spandex will be found here — but are still completely low-maintenance. And though some may require a slight explanation, at least they don’t call for any hot glue, wigs, or wings; meaning you can probably wear them again post-10/31. Click on for our ideas, and who knows? You might even have a little fun dressing up this time around.

http://www.chicstyle.us/2016/10/20/26-bold-and-chic-copper-hair-ideas/#respondThu, 20 Oct 2016 14:41:21 +0000http://www.chicstyle.us/?p=180Copper hair is kind of classics among bold colors, if grey, blue and magenta has recently become popular, this color has been popular for centuries and it is still. In the past girls with such hair were considered witches but today we know that’s not so, this is just a cool way to stand out. Copper has many different shades, from fiery to dark red copper, and you can find you own one.

Copper Shades

Copper hair look best with pale complexion but there are different shades to choose from, so that every girl could find her tone. I totally love fiery copper shade, which makes a statement itself, you will never be unnoticed! Red copper is an elegant option, especially its darker shades, and brown copper is amazing if you aren’t ready to risk and rock too bold shades. Copper looks awesome on short and long hair, on straight and curly hair, it’s gorgeous!

Copper Highlights And Ombre Hair

Want something different? Opt for black or dark purple roots, add copper or red copper balayage for a bold look. red copper hair can be highlighted with blond shades, and you can try ombre options with red copper to gradual blonde. Dark and chocolate brown looks good with some copper shades, too. Want to stand out? Choose black roots and balayage with bold red, copper and caramel touches.

http://www.chicstyle.us/2016/10/20/4-fall-maxidresses-with-major-impact/#respondThu, 20 Oct 2016 14:32:59 +0000http://www.chicstyle.us/?p=177How many maxidresses do you need this fall? Considering the myriad versions that marched down the runway last February—goth-glam numbers at Marc Jacobs, Gucci’s cerebral-chic confections of layered tulle and feathers, cozy floor-length knits from Stella McCartney—we say the more, the better. Now, a few things to remember before stocking up:

1. If the fashion cred isn’t convincing enough, remember: This might be the easiest silhouette in the world to pull off. Besides being universally flattering, its dramatic, head-to-toe cut makes each one a finished outfit; you just need to add shoes.

2. Of course, if the mood strikes, you can always switch things up with creative layering (like, say, pulling a sweater on top, or a turtleneck underneath) but that’s more of a bonus option than a hard-and-fast rule. Basically, one design = at least two different looks.

3. Because longer hemlines are having such a moment, the selection online is far more than you possibly have time to shift through. Fortunately, we’ve collected 4 winning dress boutiques online to streamline your search. Scroll down to shop our picks!

1). ZARA
A relaxed cut and elegant satin-y fabric means this one works for day and night.

2). TOPSHOP
The funky vintage ’90s dress you are always hoping to find at a flea market—without the funky vintage ’90s sizing.

3). IRO
In the gauziest of silk, the ultimate transitional piece for late-summer days (as it gets colder, pair with OTK boots).

It’s not just the designer pieces and noteworthy styling techniques that get our hearts racing—it’s the way in which these women carry themselves while wearing some of the most complex trends around. And while we love the style of American women, there is something extraordinary about the way in which ladies from around the world put together outfits, and we need to copy that something ASAP.
The outfits captured on the streets during London, Milan, and Paris fashion weeks are somehow on trend yet not overplayed in any way. This is the kind of look we should always aspire to put together when we get dressed in the morning. Before the outfit combinations we are about to show to you catch wave here in America, we suggest you start shopping the pieces you need to re-create them before anyone else does.
Ahead, see the international outfit combinations that are about to blow up in the U.S. and the pieces you’ll need to pull them off!

L O N D O N

One-Shoulder Sweater + Cropped Pants + Statement Heels: More and more sweaters this season are revealing some part of the shoulder, whether it be through a tiny cutout or a full cold shoulder.

Cropped Sweater + Poplin Top + Wide-Leg Jeans: Play with proportions here by wearing wide-leg pants, an oversize button-down, and a cropped sweater all at once.

Sweaterdress + Sneakers: Make a sweaterdress look less stuffy by pairing it with classic and cool sneakers.

P A R I S

Trench Coat + Slip Dress + Working Boots: One of the best parts about this look is the subtle graphic tee popping out from underneath the slip dress. Add a women trench coat and working boots on top for a statement-making fall look.

Patent Coat + T-Shirt + Jeans + Platforms: This patent material was everywhere during fashion week, and we love it in this coat version. As seen here, it can make even jeans and a white T-shirt pop.

Bright Sweater + Stirrup Leggings + Pumps: When wearing a shapeless sweater, opt for a bright color and pair it with forward stirrup leggins will make you look anything but frumpy.

What is your go-to outfit formula when the temperature drops? Let us know in the comments below!

http://www.chicstyle.us/2016/10/20/8-maternity-halloween-costumes-to-show-off-that-bump/#respondThu, 20 Oct 2016 13:57:36 +0000http://www.chicstyle.us/?p=170What to expect when you’re expecting? An amazing Halloween costume is what. For soon-to-be moms, great Halloween costumes are a totally different ball game. We like to think of the holiday as a fantastic opportunity to show off that adorable bump. That’s why today we’ve got eight photo-worthy maternity costumes that will sweep all of the costume contest awards. DIYers Kelly Bryden and Misty Spinney nailed these looks and Krystle stole the show with her modeling prowess. Read on for the tutorials.

1. Christmas Ornament Costume

Itching for holiday season to begin already? Be an ornament for Halloween! We found a long black dress from a thrift store and cut out a hole for Krystle’s belly to pop through. Next, we sewed a belly band out of shiny red stretchy fabric and slipped it on underneath the black dress, and then hot glued an ornament topper made from cardboard and a pipe cleaner. We finished off the look with a Christmas tree headband and a bright red lip.

2. Ice Cream Cone Costume

This cone won’t melt, but your heart sure will when you see this costume! It is TOO CUTE. To create this three-tiered vanilla cone, get a white wig, a white crop top and stretchy white jersey to sew into a band for your belly. Cover the belly band and crop top in felt sprinkles and add dark brown lines to a tan skirt for the cone. Finish off the look with a cherry headband (made from a painted foam ball and green pipe cleaner), pink lips and white heals.

3. Bouquet of Flowers Costume

Your baby bump will add awesome dimension to the flowers in the bouquet women halloween costumes. You will need a base tank with crepe paper flowers hot glued or pinned on to create the top of the bouquet. Make sure to create one big flower for your belly to really show off that bump. Get about two yards of burlap, then drape it around your body and pin in place to create the bouquet wrap.
For the hair: Pull the top half of your hair up into a high pony that is slightly off center. Tie off this pony into a messy bun, leaving the ends out for that wispy look. Then pull the lower half of your hair over to the side of your head with the bun and make a low side pony. Blend the top-knotted hair into the lower pony with some pins. Then place random fake flowers throughout your hair to fill in any gaps or add any pattern that makes you feel pretty!

4. Grapes Costume

How cute is Krystle in this purple wig!? The base of this costume is a dark green dress from a thrift store in which we cut out a hole for her belly bump. Sew together a purple belly band and slip it on underneath the dress to turn your belly into a big grape. Finish off the costume with a vine of ivy with additional purple balloon grapes. Of course, you’ll need a purple wig and lip to bring your A game.

5. Kangaroo Costume

We found this orange dress at the Goodwill. The little kangaroo is here on Amazon! Make the pouch and tummy with cream felt attached to the dress using hot glue. Pair with some brown leggings and brown shoes. For her ears, add dark and light brown felt to a headband using hot glue. Paint on some whiskers, a nose and black lipstick to complete this momma kangaroo look.

6. Mrs. Potato Head Costume

We ordered this orange dress as a base for the costume and this sailor hat on Amazon. Underneath the dress is a white tube top positioned around her tummy. Cut a circle out of the orange dress so you can see the tube top, and then fashion a little potato baby made of felt to the belly and glue a flap of orange felt on the base with fashion tape on the top edge, so you can reseal the flap after exposing the li’l baby! We went with a short auburn wig and attached pink earrings with little yellow dots on them to make Mrs. Potato Head’s “ears.”

7. Phases of the Moon Costume

I mean, you have to order these galactic space pants and shirt as your base for this look. To create the phases of the moon, do a google search for them, then print and cut them out and tape them onto the belly, all revolving around Earth. The silver tinsel wig paired with her red, silver and copper makeup is the perfect topper for this out-of-this-world momma costume! We found the wig at a local costume shop here in SF, but you can order one similar here if you can’t find one.

8. Avocado Costume

We opted for a little brown dress to give her bump the proper seed color. The avocado is made out of foam board cut into the shape of the avo. Paint it with a few shades of green and then add a felt seed on the top. The best part of this look is her headband. Misty printed out images of tortilla chips, Sriracha, lime and salt, glued them to foam paper and attached them to a headband.

http://www.chicstyle.us/2016/10/20/how-to-make-these-4-zara-buys-look-expensive-af/#respondThu, 20 Oct 2016 13:42:25 +0000http://www.chicstyle.us/?p=167While a closet full of designer duds is the ultimate in #squadgoals, your boss lady budget might not be ready to take on a challenge of that magnitude just yet (you’re still working on that high-roller raise). But girl, that’s totally cool. Every sartorially savvy fashion enthusiast knows that you don’t need to rock head-to-toe Dior to rack up the style cred. Case in point: Just about every street style star out there has more than her fair share of High Street staples — Zara being a particular fave — holdin’ it down in her wardrobe. Runway-inspired frocks, trend-right jeans and shoes and swoon-inducing It-girl bags are affordable enough to scoop at the start of each season, and add major wow factor to even the most basic of ensembles. But how is it that they’re able to create haute looks with such affordable pieces? It’s all in the styling. Mixing in a few upscale essentials will certainly do the trick, but choosing the right colors, textures and accessories is just as important. Below, we’re bringing you four gotta-get Zara buys and showing you how to give them that enviable Instababe edge — all without breaking the bank.

ZARA BOOTS

A great pair of leather boots doesn’t need much to look its best. Case in point: Teamed with a sophisticated longline womens wool coats, shimmery drop earrings and a silk square scarf, these forest green stunners look straight-up luxe. For a cool downtown edge, ground the getup with a one-shoulder bodysuit and high-waisted jeans that transition flawlessly from day to night.

Desk-to-dinner dressing, right this way. With the right pieces, a basic Zara turtleneck becomes a building block for an It girl-approved office-to-after-hours ensemble. Half-tuck the top into an artsy mini skirt (don’t worry — it’s long enough to sneak past HR), then proceed to pair with sculptural scoop booties with endless runway-ready appeal. Round out the look with statement drop earrings and a shearling coat that channels Acne Studios’ iconic topper — but for less.

The only thing keeping a classic button-down from reaching its full potential is a lack of power pieces. Start by teaming this embroidered beauty with cropped leather-look trousers and croco slingback pumps that exude classy-lady vibes. Extra polish comes in the form of an icy blue velvet blazer and just a hint of bling in the form of a gilded leopard brooch. Rawr.

Date night, day at the office, weekend chillin’ — this swingy cold-shoulder dress does it all. An ambitious Saturday calls for a getup that will see you through everything from coffee runs to swaying to the beat, and this playful #OOTD has you covered. Jazz up your dress with a bold buckled belt, block heels and a skinny velvet scarf, then proceed to layer on an embroidered bomber jacket that lends the look just the right amount of athleisure cool. Ya dig?
